Weak minds and perversion of religion is the issue.
Religion is the basis for morality and was paramount in culling the majority of barbarism in the world.
I beg to differ...
Even barbarians had some form of religion. And religion has been the basis for some serious barbarism throughout history.
Religion is in no way the basis for morality. If religion was non-existent, society would eventually become more moral all on its own as people grew tired of man's inhumanity towards other men.
Religion separates people. Tells people they are superior to others who don't think the way they do.
Religion is based upon control and fear...tithe here or face excommunication....believe the way we say or face an eternity of suffering....etc.
Fellowship would happen just fine without religion. Good people would come together and help each other even if religion wasn't around.
Nothing is more divisive than religion.
The world would be a better place without it.
